Elisa Sighicelli’s photographs are mounted on light boxes. The subject - interiors or landscapes, never figures - is always caught between the light captured by the camera’s chamber and the artificial light that alters it in a particular spot. If the interiors are deserted, the landscapes are often deserts and the viewpoint is more or less the same, at ground-level, skimming the horizon. The Icelandic landscapes or the Kjölur Desert, like the hotel rooms, leave us nevertheless with an impression of strange familiarity, as if Elisa Sighicelli’s light boxes could serve as "black boxes" opening out onto the depths of our psychic space, our interior territory.
